Orange-brown hairy caterpillars

My honeysuckle has been devoured by large orange-brown hairy caterpillars. They are now starting on the clematis beside it. What can I do?

    Pick them off?

    Let them enjoy it?

    They'll be gone soon, no caterpillar lasts for long before it puates

    they cannot do much damage at this time of the year so i would not bother about them.

    They won't do the plants any long term harm, and the caterpillars will turn into beautiful insects to pollinate our plants next year image
